Life before Stowe
I was a telecommunications engineer working on radio paging and on-site wireless, two-way speech communications systems. In the early 80s I made the decision to go into teaching. My first teaching post was at Reigate Grammar School; the second was at King Henry VIII School in Coventry, and then Stowe.

Playing bass guitar for two bands - I enjoy most pre-90s music and I have a massive selection of music. I also enjoy scuba diving (as a divemaster), motorcycling, painting watercolours and acrylic. Finally I really enjoy coaching rugby.
